Mr Motala, who also owns pharmacies in Derby and Rochdale, said he had not experienced someone suffering an anaphylactic shock before.

He added: “They are quite rare and it is important we raise awareness of it, by doing that we can save lives.

“It was quite shocking. Nothing like this has happened to me before and am just glad I was able to help.

“Epipens are only available by prescription but in a situation like this, an emergency, anyone can use them.”

Neal Patel, spokesman for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, said: “Irfan has shown fantastic presence of mind to take life saving actions to help this patient when she needed it most.

“Pharmacists are always on hand to help the public with health advice and medicines. Irfan has shown what a great combination of skills pharmacists have and how they can deploy these to help people in emergency situations.
